Lisbon’s waterfront marks centuries of maritime trade; Belém became the staging point for 15th–16th century Portuguese exploration, while the 1755 earthquake reshaped the city’s urban grid.
Conservation
The Tagus estuary is ecologically significant; visitors are encouraged to avoid single‑use plastics and support local operators who follow low‑impact boating practices.

Bring valid ID
All passengers must show a passport or national ID at check‑in to board the helicopter.
Mind the helicopter weight limits
Maximum per-passenger weight is 120 kg; if you’re over 110 kg you may need to purchase a second seat at the heliport.
Prepare for uneven walking surfaces
Old Town streets use traditional cobblestone (calçada) and can be slippery when wet—sturdy, grippy shoes help.
Plan for motion sensitivity
If you get seasick or airsick, bring medication—both the boat leg and helicopter can provoke nausea for sensitive travelers.
